Kurzbeschreibung: "This paper explores the genesis of sadistic behaviour in men and its relationship to crime. Sixteen male special hospital patients, each with a diagnosis of psychopathic disorder, formed the basis of this descriptive study. In only three cases were the crimes explicable in terms of external circumstances and personality traits. The offences of the remaining 13 cases became comprehensible only when the offender's internal circumstances were explored: investigation revealed repetitive sadistic masturbatory fantasies which had spilled over into overt behaviour because the patients had felt impelled to seek and create increasingly dangerous in vivo 'try-outs' of their fantasies. The paper discusses the crucial link between sadistic fantasy and behaviour."

Kurzbeschreibung: Auszug: "The literature on the paraphilias has been focused chiefly on theoretical, etiological, and epidemiological concerns rather than on issues of treatment. However, a trend toward treatment outcome studies is emerging. At present, there is consensus that cognitive/behavioral therapies form the standard against which other approaches must be judged. Behavior therapies include various forms of aversive condition, social skills training, biofeedback, and sexual impulse control training, among others. Cognitive approaches include restructuring cognitive distortions, relapse prevention, and empathy training. Somatic treatments have also been reported, including the administration of medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) and cyproterone acetate (CPA); both reduce circulating testosterone. Unfortunately, large outcome evaluations of any of these treatments are still lacking."

Kurzbeschreibung: "A patient with hereditary syphilis from the age of seven took great satisfaction in being stepped upon, especially when the foot was covered by a shoe which he particularly liked. At the age of puberty he had his first real orgasm when stepped upon by a young girl. Even after marriage, being stepped upon was his only source of sexual satisfaction for some time. After his wife suffered a nervous disorder, he followed the advice of his physician and was able to have normal sexual relations. However, after his wife died following a miscarriage, he reverted to his old fetishism." (APA/PsycINFO)

Kurzbeschreibung: "Clinical reports, erections measured on a penis transducer, and attitudes on evaluative scales of the semantic differential show changes in 3 transvestites and 2 fetishists. The patients were highly motivated, cooperative, and had well-adjusted personalities, apart from the deviant sexual excitement. Intensive treatment for 2 wk., with outpatient follow-up, produced marked improvement that is attributed to the electrical aversion training." (APA/PsycINFO)

Kurzbeschreibung: "An operant conditioning measure is described, which showed that faradic shocks were aversive in a patient whose fetishism was associated with masochism. The patient's response was in keeping with expectations drawn from the initial measures, since faradic aversion produced rapid improvement of the masochism with subsequent improvement of the fetishism, and increased enjoyment of normal sexual relations. The operant conditioning and semantic differential measures accurately reflected clinical changes after treatment, and are useful to assess progress. Masochism does not necessarily contra-indicate aversion treatment." (APA/PsycINFO)

Kurzbeschreibung: "Reports a measure of sexual attitude that is helpful in assessing progress of patients in treatment for sexual deviation. Patients rated 20 sexual and nonsexual concepts on 13 bipolar scales of semantic differential types. On principal components analyses of scales, 2 semantic dimensions emerged that reflected patients' clinical state - the well-known factor of general evaluation and a new one of sexual evaluation. On both these dimensions 8 transvestites and fetishists treated with faradic aversion therapy showed marked selective devaluation and desexualization of concepts about sexual deviance, with insignificant changes in other concepts. Change on sex evaluative scales was significantly greater than on general evaluative scales. Ratings on an anxiety dimension did not change significantly and were not helpful in assessing patients' clinical state." (APA/PsycINFO)

Kurzbeschreibung: "Describes a behavioral analysis of an unusual case of trouser fetishism in a young adult male that revealed a complex of fetish-related problem behaviors. These behaviors could be grouped into 3 categories: (a) the use of trousers in physical contact during masturbation, (b) fetishistic fantasies that occurred during and apart from masturbation, and (c) overt behavior aimed at procuring trousers for masturbation. A simple aversive conditioning program using the masturbation-related activities as target problems had some limited therapeutic value, but it was necessary to employ further behavioral treatments before the goals of therapy were achieved. Because of the design it was not possible to infer effects specific to each of the treatment components. However, the case was useful in demonstrating both the need for an adequate behavioral analysis and the value of combining various therapeutic programs in treating the individual case." (APA/PsycINFO)

Kurzbeschreibung: "A consideration of the literature on the behavioral therapy of sexual deviations suggests that the direct modification of fantasies will provide an effective treatment method. A combination of 2 procedures for modifying the content of sexual fantasies is outlined, and the results of treatment with 12 male patients (homosexuals, fetishists, rapists, and pedophiles) using this combined approach are described. The hypothesis that the modification of fantasies would have a direct effect on both deviant behavior and attitudes toward deviant material was not unequivocally supported. However, the program had eliminated deviant behavior in all Ss by the end of treatment, and this was maintained at follow-up in at least 75%." (APA/PsycINFO)

Kurzbeschreibung: "Describes cognitive-behavioral approaches to the treatment of the paraphilias. After presenting a brief history of treatment of nonoffending patients with eccentric sexual desires (e.g., transvestism or fetishism), the authors discuss the treatment of sexual offenders." (APA/PsycINFO)

Kurzbeschreibung: "The rating of printing, photographs, and sculpture as 'artistic' or 'suggestive' is determined largely by subjective factors. The police of Dresden have a collection of confiscated material which includes a great mass of proscribed photographs, utensils, drawings, etc. The individuals who make use of such articles to arouse sex feelings are definitely psychopathic, in the same class with fetishists, voyeurs, or onanists. The author summarizes German law on the subject of such offenses against public morals." (APA/PsycINFO)

Kurzbeschreibung: "Describes 2 cases of paraphilia (one with sexual masochism, involving a 40-yr-old male and one with transvestic fetishism, involving a 38-yr-old male). These patients were successfully treated with fluoxetine hydrochloride in a dose of 40 mg/d." (APA/PsycINFO)

Kurzbeschreibung: Auszug: "This chapter reviews the psychopathology and theories postulated to explain fetishism and concentrates on the abnormal or pathological forms. In the past 100 yrs authors from many disciplines have examined the concept of fetishism from many perspectives, including the sociocultural, sociobiological, ethological, biological, behavioral, and psychodynamic. These are reviewed, although the placing of theoretical models of etiology in context is somewhat difficult, as little epidemiological evidence has been published. Specific issues addressed include: diagnostic criteria; epidemiology; clinical features; the choice of fetish, significance, and classification; developmental issues; and proposed etiological factors. Throughout this review the difficulty of extrapolating from clinical populations, single case reports, and small series of cases is highlighted."

Kurzbeschreibung: "From a longitudinal study that began at birth, a case is described in which a man at the age of 30 recalls the onset of a sexual fetish in his fifth or sixth year of life. The memories activated and dreams reported during the thirty-year follow-up interview, were synthesised with parent-infant film data and historical information contained in the research record concerning the child's development, his parents' behaviour and traumatic experiences. Taken together they provide a detailed description of the psychological ontogenesis of the fetish. The case provides unusual information about the manner in which early childhood events-objectively documented-interdigitate with intrapsychic processes and mental structuralisation. This also illuminates processes by which memories are retained, condensed, distorted and lost. In addition, information from other participants in the project who reported sexually anomalous histories at the age of 30 raises questions of what can be predicted from early life experiences."

Kurzbeschreibung: "Expands upon A. W. Epstein's (see → Eps75) comment that extrapersonal factors may have been involved in the case of a 15-yr-old male's fetish for wetting canvas shoes belonging to women. The view that these extrapersonal factors included expressions of archetypal language is discussed, and various symbolic meanings of shoes are explored." (APA/PsycINFO)

Kurzbeschreibung: "We describe 3 unusual autoerotic fatalities in which propane gas was used to induce hypoxia. To our knowledge, these are the first cases of their kind to be reported and described in depth, although brief references to similar cases have appeared. The case histories of 3 white males, aged 22, 42 and 62 years, are described with emphasis on the scene and circumstances and the identification of propane from autopsy materials. In one case, unusual paraphilia and multiple foreign bodies in the rectum were noted. These 3 cases illustrate an unusual form of autoerotic practice in which hypoxia is induced by propane inhalation, unlike the usual neck compression that has been previously described in depth. The importance of scene reconstruction and an awareness of this phenomenon is stressed."

The results are seen as analogous to other studies using extinction with aversive stimuli." (APA/PsycINFO)

Kurzbeschreibung: "A gifted young man showed a sexual perversion in that he was sexually excited only by one-legged women. Dressed up in women's clothes with one leg tied up double, he experienced orgasms. The analysis, especially on the basis of dreams, shows that his curious sexual development can be traced back to his relations with his father. Tyrannized over by his father, he still remained bound to him both in love and hate. Wishes that his father were castrated changed into fear of castration. At the same time, however, his own mutilation would make him a satisfactory female sexual object for his father, as he wanted to be. In his relation with women he experienced homo-sexually their mutilation as a male component. The determination to such a contradictory development was shown in his experiences as a child. Fetishism seemed to him both pleasure and punishment and its genesis was regarded as a very complex symbolization." (APA/PsycINFO)

Kurzbeschreibung: "A unique case of fetishism with sadistic elements. During the course of two years, a 40-year-old man repeatedly lay in wait at night on quiet streets for young women wearing glasses, which he would snatch off and carry away, if they were not broken. He would later throw them into the fire, or lay them on the street-car track, and was filled with satisfaction as he heard them ground under the wheels. He confessed that he was always especially drawn to women wearing glasses, but if they were indifferent to him he became sexually excited and felt impelled to tear off their glasses, which act relieved the tension. All the members of his family, both men and women, wore glasses." (APA/PsycINFO)

Kurzbeschreibung: "Conrad was fetishistic in respect to hair, fur, teeth, feet and shoes. Conrad denied the anatomical differences between the sexes, revered and denigrated women, was in conflict regarding scopophilic and exhibitionistic impulses, and showed castration hypochondria while precipitating injuries and misfortunes to himself." (APA/PsycINFO)

Kurzbeschreibung: "Discusses certain traits of the psychic apparatus that are common to the perverse defense mechanism of female Ss. These traits include a compulsion to accept reality only to a limited extent and certain fantasies with sadomasochistic contents. Several clinical examples illustrate the type of fantasies that alone enable these females to have orgasms in their sexual relations. These stereotyped and repetitive erotic fantasies should be considered a kind of fetishistic phenomenon: they appear to have a protective function similar to that of the fetishist's perverse masculine defenses. The masculine fetish is generally an object or a part of the body, whereas the female fetish is hidden among the S's fantasies." (APA/PsycINFO)

Kurzbeschreibung: "Despite the large population of New Orleans, including many homosexuals and transsexuals, there have been relatively few cases of autoerotic deaths. The case reported here is an interesting one as it includes a bizarre form of autoerotic behavior from the standpoint of the method used. There have been no deaths reported in the literature in which the victim died as a result of jeopardizing himself by enclosing his body into plastic with an airway out of his "cocoon" in the form of a snorkel tube. He was engaged in masturbation when he apparently lost his mouth piece or airway. He attempted to use a knife to cut himself out."

Kurzbeschreibung: "Reports an extensive case history of a fetishistic patient, taken from the estate of the late A. Mitscherlich. The patient had entered analysis in the early 1940's, was referred to Mitscherlich in 1948 by the colleague who had conducted the 1st phase of the treatment, and continued under Mitscherlich until 1952." (APA/PsycINFO)

Kurzbeschreibung: "Discusses over 30 paraphilias (erotosexual conditions of being dependent on an unusual or unacceptable stimulus in order to initiate arousal and orgasm) and subdivides these paraphilias into 6 categories on the basis of their phenomenological dynamics: (1) sacrificial paraphilias, in which one or both partners must atone for the wicked act through penance or sacrifice; (2) predatory paraphilias, including rape; (3) mercantile paraphilias, in which the illusion of prostitution is created; (4) fetish paraphilias; (5) eligibility paraphilias, in which the partner must meet some physical or social criterion; and (6) allurement paraphilias, in which some more or less extraneous ritual (such as exhibitionism or making erotic telephone calls) replaces genital intercourse. The author introduces the concept of the 'lovemap,' which is usually manifested as the innate desire for standard heterosexual intercourse. However, when the normal heterosexual play and sexual rehearsal of childhood are hampered by too much prohibition or punishment, the standard heterosexual lovemap does not develop properly in the brain, and paraphilias may develop. For male paraphiliacs, especially those with hyperorgasmia, the most effective treatment may include counseling therapy as well as injections of medroxyprogesterone acetate." (APA/PsycINFO)

Kurzbeschreibung: "Dr. John Money's groundbreaking 1985 book Lovemaps helped to change the medical conversation about sexual diversity - somewhat. A clinical sexologist at Johns Hopkins University since 1952, John Money argued that every human has a lovemap, an idiosyncratic and complex image of one's idealized lover and ideal romantic/sexual relationship. This lovemap develops like a native language from birth on, as a result of many different stimuli, including sensual input during infancy, early childhood 'sexuo-erotic rehearsal play,' relationships to parents and siblings, social pressure, and religious prohibition. (...) Unfortunately, Dr. Money then goes on to reinforce prejudices many people have about sexual misfits by lumping anyone who fails to conform to his notion of 'optimal' development - i.e. 'heterosexual without complexities' - together. Turkey Man, erotic piercing, and consensual S/M fall into the same diagnostic category as child molesters, self-mutilation, rape, and lust murder. He makes little distinction between people whose sex acts may be eccentric but are reasonable and consensual, and those whose desires and actions are criminal or dangerous. He describes only the most extreme cases, confirming our assumption that there is no such thing as a paraphile capable of observing limits to their behavior. He strengthens the prejudice that someone with an unusual sexual fantasy is automatically impaired in their ability to negotiate the difference between fantasy and reality."

Kurzbeschreibung: Aus dem Klappentext: "This book is a summation of the author's life work, much of it devoted to pediatric sexology, both normal and abnormal. This book marks the foundation of a new branch of scholarship and science, the development sexology of childhood and adolescence, from prenatal life onward."

Kurzbeschreibung: "An organized semi-public event for the exhibition of S/M (sadomasochistic) behavior is known as a 'party' by the participants. Using a retrospective analysis of the author's experiences over the last 25 years, a description of these parties is presented. The present paper explores the structure, function, and purpose of these parties. The S/M behavior, sexual interactions, rules of etiquette, and structure of the party are summarized. The lack of genitally focused orgasm-seeking behavior at the party is discussed at length."

Kurzbeschreibung: "Summarizes psychological research regarding (a) the relationship between owners and pets and (b) sexual activities between humans and animals. Motivations for acquiring pets include (a) desire for a status symbol, (b) the owner's exhibitionistic need for attention (especially with exotic animals), (c) the timid owner's need for a conversation piece, and (d) surrogate for humans with childless couples and the elderly. Adults may experience severe depression, similar to the depression some individuals experience after moving from an area, due to the loss of a pet. Sodomy between master and animal usually occurs from loss of human partners, but it is also related to the incest taboo, fetishism, homosexuality, and religious rituals." (APA/PsycINFO)

Kurzbeschreibung: "Paraphilias (e.g., pedophilia, fetishism) are said to be virtually ineradicable once established. The authors propose that the motivational state known as the Zeigarnik effect according to which interrupted tasks are better recalled than completed tasks, may provide understanding of this process, especially its later addictive-compulsive quality. Reasoning from Zeigarnik-type research, the authors predict a relation between early sexual arousal, its frustration, and subsequent events associated with such arousal. The paraphilias are thus seen as an unusual by-product of a normal adaptive process, that is, a tendency to privilege the recollection of unfinished over finished activities. The authors discuss why paraphilias are associated nearly exclusively with males, and why paraphilic tendencies are apparently quite rare in traditional societies. They also propose new research on the processes and outcomes entailed by the Zeigarnik effect, such research including, but not being limited to, sexuality." (APA/PsycINFO)

Kurzbeschreibung: "Reviews the controversy over the analytic description of perversion in relation to essays by A. Lussier (→ Lus83,
E-ABSTRACT = {"Reviews the controversy over the analytic description of perversion in relation to essays by A. Lussier (→ Lus83, → Lus83a) on the nature and function of fetishism and by I. Barande and R. Barande (→ BB83a) on the contradictions inherent in the concept of perversion. To accommodate both perspectives, the present author suggests a distinction between perversion - an attempt to recapture the pleasure of the infantile stage through the use of a compulsive object - and perversity - which stems from a conflict in sexual identity and a straining toward death."
